All Soroptimists volunteer their skills as part of their club’s varied project work.  At the club meeting last week, club member Pat Campbell received a volunteer certificate to thank her for the commitment she has shown to Tomorrow’s Women Glasgow. The club has supported TWG since its inception in 2012. It is a one stop service for women coming out of the criminal justice system. Pat has acted as the club link member for many years with the TWG staff to identify what personal items are needed by the women to help their reintegration to life in Glasgow. Well done Pat!

The month of March is the Marie Curie Great Daffodil Appeal. As in previous years SI Glasgow City members helped out by acting as collectors. £222 was raised from the generosity of the shoppers in a Glasgow Morrisons supermarket. Many positive comments from the folks donating who had family experience of the wonderful care Marie Curie nurses and hospice staff provide. The total raised will fund 11 hours of vital nursing care at home for someone living with a terminal illness. Wear a daffodil to show your support!  

Some SI Glasgow City members attended Tomorrow’s Women Glasgow (TWG) Christmas party in mid-December. Since the service, for women coming out of the criminal justice system, commenced in 2012 the members have provided Christmas presents and food for the party each Festive Season. Staff from the Citizens Theatre Glasgow work with the women during the year and a short performance is part of the party celebrations. The images include TWG and Citizens Theatre staff along with club members.
